Rudno polje - Vodnikov dom

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana-Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and continue along the road towards Bled. In Bled, at the traffic lights, signs for Pokljuka direct us to the right. Continue through Gorje and past the abandoned Zatrnik ski slope to Rudno polje on Pokljuka (large parking lot, barracks and shooting range).

Route description:
At the end of the parking lot, a gravel road branches off to the right, with signposts for Triglav. Head onto this road, which gently ascends and after ten minutes of walking brings us to the Viševnik ski slope. Continue along the road, from which a marked path to Triglav soon branches off to the left.
Continue in the direction of Triglav and after a few minutes of moderate ascent arrive at a forest road, which we follow for only a few meters (until here it used to be possible by car). The marked path then turns right and ascends more steeply for a short time, after ten minutes the steepness eases, and the path slowly transitions onto steep slopes. Across the steep slopes, the path mostly gently descends and turns increasingly to the right. A bit further, we will notice Planina Konjščica below us to the left. Our path then stops descending and transitions from the forest into the brush. The ascending path leads us under steep cliffs and soon brings us to a junction where we join the path from Planina Konjščica.
From here, a short ascent follows, and the path brings us to a beautiful little valley called Jezerce, where it forks. There are also signposts directing us left (right Srenjski preval, Viševnik Blejska koča na Lipanci...), and the initially gentle path brings us to the spring below Studorski preval. After the spring, the path gradually becomes steeper; from the left side of the torrent, it higher up crosses to the right side, where we reach a grassy slope—the path we ascend remains rocky. This is followed by an ascent in a few switchbacks, and we climb to Studorski preval, from which a beautiful view opens onto the mountains above Bohinj.
Here, a demanding path from Srenjski preval joins from the right, and from our path, unmarked trails to Ablanco and Veliki Draški vrh also branch off.
From the saddle, we first descend steeply for a short time, then the path turns rightward, and we cross the slopes to the left for a long time with some shorter easy ascents and descents. From the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh, we gradually reach the slopes of the massive Tosc, continuing amid beautiful views past the branch to Tosc and the junction where the path from Uskovnica joins from the left.
At all junctions, including the one where the partly abandoned path via Planina Zgornji Tosc joins, continue straight; the path gradually brings us to steeper and even precipitous southwest slopes of Mount Tosc, where there was a landslide a few years ago, so extra caution is needed due to falling rocks. Across the precipitous section runs a fairly wide path, so there are no special difficulties here; when the slope becomes less steep, the path from Stara Fužina or Voje Valley joins from the left.
Continue straight on the wider marked path toward Triglav, which proceeds northward along the western slopes of Tosc; the still gentle path leads us across some scree to Vodnikov dom na Velem polju.
